Predator lamps are used to improve the illumination of distant dark objects. The Predator lamps are normally
set to maximum intensity to increase the distance at which objects can be seen. When the Predator lamps
are ON and the camera tilts downwards to view nearby objects, the illumination could be too bright. This could
cause the quality of the image to be reduced. Some Predators include the ‘intelligent lighting’ feature which
allows the intensity of the illumination to be reduced when the Predator tilts down below a particular angle (i.e.
the ‘Dim Light Angle’). Below this angle the power to the lamps is reduced to the percentage value that has
been set (i.e. ‘Dim Lights intensity’).
• Dim Lights Angle - Sets angle when reduced illumination intensity is used.
• Dim Lights Intensity - Sets illumination intensity.
• Night HLC Level - Set a value to help mask high intensity light sources, options are low, medium and
high.
• Night HLC Mask - Sets a mask for the light source, options are 1 (white) to 15 (grey).
Configuration
•
Sun Shield - Reduces tilt range of the camera for when a sunshield is fitted.
• Auto Flip - Use this option to set how the camera behaves when full tilt down is reached.
Tilt - Requires a second tilt down command, when at full tilt down to spin camera 180°.
Limit - Automatically spins the camera 180° when full tilt down is reached.
• Attack Detect - Camera will re-initialise camera motors so that camera looks back to the original
position, if the camera is physically forced/moved. Default is on.
•
Upright Mount - Can be used to flip the image, so the camera can be used on a pole or a ceiling.
Default is pole.
•
Power on Park - When the camera powers up, it will go to a preset position. Preset 150. Default is off.
• Pan/Tilt Speed - Can be used to set the pan/tilt speed. Options are Normal, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%
Slower, 20%, 40%, 60% or 80% Faster. Default is normal.
• Status Refresh Rate - Can be used to help speed up telemetry control of the camera, by slowing
down the refresh rate.
Thermal Settings
•
Thermal Camera - If a thermal camera is fitted this option when enabled will give control options of
the thermal camera.
• Thermal Colour - White Hot, Black Hot, Ice and Fire, Glow Bow and Iron Bow.
• Thermal Gain Control - Histogram, Linear and Auto Bright.
